At the top of the Fountain is the sculpture Angel of the Waters, a bronze figure of a robed angel with raised wings. She delicately steps on a stone which spouts forth water. The water cascades down from the sculpture into two basins and fills a large circular pool.

While all the other works of arts and monuments were donated to the Park, Angel of the Waters is the only artwork in Central Park’s collection that was commissioned by the Park’s designers and administrators. The design for the Terrace always included a central fountain, as well as a series of statues that were never realized. The pool and lower basin were created first, based on a design by Park architect Jacob Wrey Mould. The commission for the addition of bronze statuary was awarded to the American sculptor Emma Stebbins. Many speculate that she modeled the figure of the angel after her partner, the actress Charlotte Cushman.

It’s this fountain that gave the area the name of Bethesda. At the dedication ceremony for the Fountain in 1873, Stebbins revealed that the sculpture’s angel was inspired by a Bible passage in the Gospel of John that describes an angel blessing the Pool of Bethesda and giving it healing powers.

Alice in Wonderland was a gift from the philanthropist and publisher George Delacorte. He intended the donation as a gift to the children of the City and a memorial for his recently deceased wife Margarita (1891–1956), an enthusiastic linguist and reader who helped him to establish his publishing empire. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was her favorite book to read to her children.

The Spanish-American sculptor José de Creeft used the illustrations from the original edition of the book, which was published in 1865, to create the characters. He modeled the face of Alice after his daughter Donna Maria and the Mad Hatter after George Delacorte. The terraced landscape surrounding the sculpture was designed by Hideo Sasaki & Associates and is one of the few examples of modern landscape architecture in Central Park.
